Buying The Perfect Princess Cut Ring
When it comes to diamond cuts in rings, the princess cut ring is the second most popular on the market. The elegant yet modern design of the square or rectangular stone in the princess cut ring, combined with the brilliance the cut bestows on the stone, make the princess cut ring a long time favourite of consumers around the world. Before buying a princess cut ring, however, there are a few items you should familiarize yourself with to get the best and most diamond for your money.
One of the most important things to focus on when buying a princess cut ring is whether or not the stone has been graded with regards to cut. Because of the unique angled design of a princess cut ring, there are only three major diamond labs that will actually grade the quality of the diamond in a princess cut ring. Other labs will give cut gradings based strictly on the polish and symmetry, not the actual cut itself. By ensuring you are buying a ring that has received a cut grading, you can ensure you are getting the best quality stone for your money.
With regards to the rest of the four c's of diamond grading, a princess cut ring will actually offer more affordable options than other round or oblong cuts in certain categories. This not only allows you to save money, steering away from higher grade stones whose higher quality grades may actually have little effect on the overall appearance of the stone, it will also allow you to use the money you save on higher colour and clarity grades to be able to increase carat weight. In other categories however, a higher grading is recommended for princess cut rings than standard round stones.
The colour of a stone references how colourless a diamond is, with the least amount of colour typically being the ideal. The colour of the stone is measured on a letter scale ranging from D, a colourless stone, to Z, a yellowish stone. Other stones are often preferred in the F to G range, depending n personal colour preference and budget. A princess cut ring, on the other hand, work well in colour ranges from F to I. The cut of the stone in a princess cut ring tends to reflect the light in a way that increases the colourless appearance of the stone, making lower graded stones appear slightly higher on the rating scale with the naked eye than other cuts.
The clarity of the stone in a princess cut ring is graded on a scale of F to I, with F representing a flawless stone and I representing a stone bearing multiple inclusions, or visible defects within the stone itself. Unlike the colour grading, it is often recommended to buy a higher quality clarity stone than would normally be recommended with other cuts. This is primarily due to the fact that the sharper edges of a princess cut ring make it somewhat more susceptible to chipping than round stones. By increasing the clarity of the stone in a princess cut ring, it makes the chances of chipping less likely.
